1. Study Pharm before first semester?

   FuturoEnfermera replied to slsmithe's topic in General Students

   I agree. Pharm is no biggie. You'll do WAY more learning about meds in your actual nursing classes and clinical preps.

2. Why Apothecaries system??

   FuturoEnfermera replied to surggirl's topic in General Students

   I hear that!! We need to go to celcius as well (althrough SI is kelvin). After all the science classes we take you really start to wonder what's up with inches, yards, etc! I've always wanted to count everything in moles too. That would just be w...

3. Why Apothecaries system??

   FuturoEnfermera replied to surggirl's topic in General Students

   We didn't have to learn this and I've never seen it in the hospital. I'm at a teaching hospital in CA so maybe they expect the MDs to be more with the times.

5. obesity diagnosis?

   FuturoEnfermera posted a topic in General Students

   How would you word a nursing diagnosis for obesity? I'm thinking about using knowledge deficient so my interventions can include teaching. Any other ideas?

6. Nursing school - loving it? Hating it?

   FuturoEnfermera replied to Biol20fan's topic in General Students

   just have to say this applies to about 99% of people who get into nursing programs! i guess lottery may be different but at least at my school no one got in with below a 3.5 or below an 89% on the teas. nursing school is just a totally different bea...

7. What's the difference between A&P for Practical Nurse and A&P for Registered Nurse

   FuturoEnfermera replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   a&p for rn is typically a two semester series (1 year) and a&p for lvn is a more basic overview and only 1 semester. they are both college level (at least at the college i took a&p-may be different elsewhere) and it has nothing to do wit...

8. In need of some moral support: VENT

   FuturoEnfermera replied to LaceyRN's topic in General Students

   Not saying you need it but I was feeling the same way and my doc just put me on Zoloft. I told many of my classmates and a lot of them admitted to recently starting antidepressants as well. I was initially surprised but when you think of all the st...

9. A surreal dismissal

   FuturoEnfermera replied to knot4me's topic in General Students

   i personally think it's absurd that you'd be kicked out for any of that or any combination of those events. yikes! i'm so sorry this happened to you. when i hear stuff like this i feel like i'm in the only nursing program that wants its students t...

10. Why are some nursing students so negative?

    FuturoEnfermera replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

    hello to the op. i have a slightly different take on nursing school. i'm in second semester (of 5). i personally feel that the content, book wise, is simpler (as in less in depth) than the pre requisites, but you must be able to apply everything w...

12. Applying to Sacramento State's ASBSN Summer 2008

    FuturoEnfermera replied to JakeyWakey's topic in California

    I wear cargo pocket dickies. They're great for holding lots of stuff. I'm sure you can wear "scrub pants" that look more like normal pants. A few of my classmates have zip up white pants. If they don't stand out you'll be fine. Some of us don't ...

13. Applying to Sacramento State's ASBSN Summer 2008

    FuturoEnfermera replied to JakeyWakey's topic in California

    Just jumping in here. I'm a BSN student at CSUS and have never seen any faculty in the nursing building without names tags that say at least MS. Most faculty that lecture are PhDs. I do wonder how rumors like this get started! Some clinical instr...

    FuturoEnfermera posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    i'm a student and have a cardiology iii. i can hear way better on my stethoscope than on my classmates but i also hear a ton of extra noise. if i barely move my finger across the back of the diaphragm i hear a loud noise. if i tap the tube i hear a l...
